Tutt allegedly lied to doctors about Colby's medical history, prompting the boy to undergo unnecessary surgeries, including the placement of a central line that later lead to a potentionally life-threatening blood infection, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

Child Protective Services documents obtained by the Star-Telegram claim Tutt had been refusing to feed Colby and that she had already made funeral arrangements and purchased a cakset for the boy. Investigators feared she might end her older son's life and worried about the safety of the other child, the report shows.
